Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact pin count, contact material, and termination type. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness and panel mounting requirements before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS status and environmental compliance data with current regulatory standards applicable to your region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. Consider the 5A continuous current rating and 1800VACrms dielectric strength for high-reliability environments. Verify that the housing material and operating temperature range meet the specific thermal constraints of the end-use application.
